Managed to get one. Not really interested in Rabbids, what are some must have games apart from Botw and Odyssey? Will pick up Mario Kart at some stage. Also what accessories do I need to get? Sorry for newb questions.

Think I'd almost prefer that bundle - prefer the all red and a download code rather than cart I think. Might trade in Rabbids + Wii-U Zelda and get the Switch version - try and give the game a proper chance this time.

Yeah I have to say I really like the look of the blood red joycons in the Odyssey bundle

Get

Pac1Man

Even the way he refers to them; 'the mario games'. Disgusting.

Mario didn't even get a capital letter.

Looks like I might end up with a spare Switch bundle from Amazon - the £279 Neon Switch & Mario & Rabbits Kingdom Battle one. Just want to check here if anyone wants to grab this at cost price before going through the Amazon returns process? Am guessing I could pass it off on Adverts but that might be too much trouble compared to returning it for the price of postage.

£299 - you're doing yourself out of £20 there.

Important to stress that Rabbids is really, really great. X-Com with a Mario makeover.

Definitely worth giving it a go before trading in - it deserves a bit of attention at least

Ha, at present, despite never playing a Switch or seeing one played live, I and my wife own 3 x Mario + Rabbits Kingdom Battle between us!

1 x Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle via Argos deal for €90 (got that myself about a month ago)
1 x Switch Neon, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle via Amazon deal for £279 (wife grabbed that on Friday)
1 x Switch Neon, Mario Odyssey, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle via Amazon deal for £299 (which I grabbed this morning)

Yeah... that's a bit overkill for someone (me!) who just wants ONE Switch and ONE copy of each of the two games on Christmas morning Will get rid of all extra between now and then without losing any money I expect, but it has worked out strangely so far!

Gonna get rid of the Switch/Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle if we can't cancel it, throw it onto Adverts unless someone here still needs to get sorted out. Also going to sell the two games I bought earlier at cost.

I’d be interested in the two games. I sent you a pm earlier.

Were there no Switch game reductions anywhere at all today then?

Poor Sonic, what does a hedgehog have to do to catch a break. Other than make a decent game that is.

You could buy sonic for €25, play through it in a few days and trade it in for a €25 cex voucher?

Well it’s the cheapest Switch game I’ve seen so I’ve picked it up for my 8 year old!

There is Sonic Mania and that reviewed well. It's relatively cheap too.

Is it a Switch game?
